Just had my wheel bearings collapse the other day, so I decided to change the rear axle. on removing the axle I noticed the top torque are bush had fallen apart(see picture). Also the replacment axle had the same problem. So I had a look at my other scrap cars to find both
of them suffering from the same fault.

As aresult of this I think it would be a good idea to make polyurethane replacment bushes with stainless steel sleeves. They should cost under £15 a pair if enough people put there name down.
I will have to have 50 pairs made. If I get 15 names I will keep the rest as stock.
If I get enough intrest I will look at getting other bushes made.

Thanks

How can I see if they need replacement?

Try pulling on the bar with your hand if it moves it will need replacing.
If you go to VOLVO you must buy the complete arm!!!!
